A Deep Love
February 3rd, 2020 Three years have passed since I created this series. I needed to arrange all of my thoughts from that time and sort out my feelings from the facts a little bit. Now in June of 2023, it has been 18 years since Grandpa Freddy went home to be with the Lord. I…

Mowing Chronicles: A Day In Our Life
My mom and I both love to mow as I have mentioned. I don’t know how we started our duo only that Jared my brother had garnered up to 20 yards himself when he was able to drive and do so during his last couple of years of high school. Once he got his job…

Family Inspiration
Words cannot begin to express the excitement of decorating with these specific objects. The history in these books of various topics mesmerizes me.

More Gems Found
What an incredible problem to have! Going through the house yet again seemed magical. Two of my aunts, yet again, found some intriguing letters. God continues to blow my mind. There’s no denying God has been in every left and right turn with me on this journey. I never in a million years thought we…

City Slickers
The Country is not feeling as spread out as it used to feel. The last couple of years have brought about a few changes to the landscape of where I live. In Southern Indiana in my corner of the state it’s really beginning to feel claustrophobic around here. The shutdowns from Covid were brutal. I…

You have supplied our Army and its subsequent branches with men and women with ferocity, determination and courage of the zeal of being an American.
